MSc ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Our Master in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an advanced course designed for engineering graduates to enhance their skills in this area of high technology. The ever-increasing pace of developments in all areas of electrical and electronic engineering (and in particular in the systems that are related to energy and the environment) requires engineers with a thorough understanding of operating principles and design methods for various modern electrical and electronic systems. As a graduate, you'll be able to not only respond to the latest changes but also look ahead and help shape future developments.

The unique features of this course are that the traditional electrical and electronic engineering subjects are supported by the more current topics of Robotics, DSP and Real Time Systems and Advanced Instrumentation, Interfacing and Design, all of which explore state-of-the-art software programmable technology which is at the forefront of modern electrical and electronic systems in industry today. This course also offers an integrated systems approach to engineering, incorporating modules in Advanced Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Systems and Optical and Microwave Communications. The technical content is offered alongside essential Research and Professional skills that are also trained and developed in the Project.

There is an increasing demand for skilled engineers who are able to design and maintain electrical and electronic systems that are at the forefront of current technologies. These positions cover many industries, hence graduates from this course can expect significantly enhanced job prospects in electrical, electronic as well as systems engineering.

We're ranked 5th in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Guardian League Table).

The School has a strong culture of research and extensive research links with industry through consultancy works and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs). Teaching content in our courses is closely related to the latest research work.

Accreditation is a mark of quality assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council, which represents the engineering profession.

From AI machine learning boot camp to silent film processing, there is a range of extracurricular activities for Engineering students to get involved in.

This course gives students the first step towards the CEng/IEng accreditation by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Over the last 30 years, all our BEng (Hons) courses have been accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
